Daily Tech News 20 November 2023

Top Story

A day after firing Sam Altman, OpenAI is in talks to bring him back. (Tech Crunch)
No they're not. (Tech Crunch)

Well, that certainly clears that up.

Tech News

Twitch founder Emmett Shear will be the new CEO of OpenAI. (The Verge)

It looks like the researchers and non-profit board wanted a CEO who would run the business, and not try to also run the non-profit side of things.
Microsoft is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Patch Tuesday. (Microsoft)

Apparently with a driver update that broke the microphone in my laptop.
After 33 years of searching, two groups of mathematicians have independently discovered the ninth Dedekind number. (Quanta)

It was behind the sofa cushion.

The first four Dedekind numbers are 2, 3, 6, and 20.

The ninth number is 286,386,577,668,298,411,128,469,151,667,598,498,812,336. So it does grow a bit after that start.
There is no cloud, there is only someone else's computers... Or your own. (The Register)

Microcloud from Canonical - the company behind Ubuntu - is designed to make it easy to deploy your own small cloud - where "small" is anything from three Raspberry Pis to fifty 128-core AMD servers. Which is a pretty large value of small.

Disclaimer: Fountain pens, yes. Everything else, no.
